Id say it does everything on your list. It supports a bunch of different hardware and database platforms including Informix. It has character cell terminal and GUI client access for Motif, Windows, and (soon) Mac. It can call and be called by 3GL routines. You can develop an application on one environment (GUI and databbase) and move it easily to another (just recompile). I think they have some sort of marketing partner agreement with HP, BTW. Joe
